SIX is not our lucky number

Joel did not make it to the next round. In the email he sent, of course he was feeling a bit down, but he also said he was at peace with it. I just got off the phone with the airline and we got his ticket changed so that he will be flying home tomorrow.

I think he still has a wonderful experience, and he was able to make some connections with other conductors, which is always a vital thing when it comes to getting anywhere in this business. Perhaps we'll never know why we felt so strongly to get him out there, but I think that it really was a good thing, regardless of the outcome.

Lara is mom to three daughters—two teens and a tween. She loves to share her parenting and homemaking triumphs and failures here at Overstuffed! She was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2015 and has been fighting it ever since. When she isn't working on her mother of the year award, you can find her reading, singing, or taking photos.

I am glad that everyone is soooo positive about the whole thing. I have to admit, that a bit selfishly I am not happy at all. For me that is just more work in terms of setting up a schedule for a new teacher at our school. But after the selfish part I really do hope the best for him, and he knows it.

Oh this is such a bummer! This can only mean something bigger & better is around the corner...I'm excited that he'll get to interview w/ the University, though. I can't believe how interested the girls were in snails! Kanoa screams when he sees a spider.

I do think things work out the way they are supposed to. I wish I could see the light at the end of our tunnel right now. I just keep packing up my home and tell myself and the kids all the positive things about moving somewhere new.
